Here’s What You Need to be a Gear Whore

Having a hard time deciding on what gear to purchase? Ever wonder what your favorite EFS sponsor wears? Well, I harassed them until I got you answers and reasons.

Josh McMillan

“The Metal ACE squater and Metal King deadlifter, are perfect. I’ve used all different types of gear and Metal gear works best for me, by far.” – McMillan


Jo Jordan

“I love the Metal Ace Pro Bencher. It is by far the most Superior shirt I have ever used. The material is amazing. I really like the angle on the sleeves as well. When I twist the sleeves with that angle the combination is amazing. The chest plate – by far – gives more bang for pressing-out the hole than I have ever seen or used. Simply put, it’s the best benchshirt available.” – Jordan

“I also love the heavy wrist wrap and knee wrap, and are not for the faint at heart. They give excellent support. The elbow and knee sleeves are amazing as well. The material is not for the weak either. These really give great support and keep these areas warm and ready while warming up. They’re the best sleeves I have ever put on.” – Jordan


Jeremy Frey

“It’s the best out there. It gives you a ton of stopping power with a lot of spring and carry through – you can’t beat it.” – Frey


Chad Aichs

“They give me a ton of support and rebound.” – Aichs


Marc Bartley

“They give the best support and pop I’ve tried. With the Pro Deadlifter, you can get down to the bar…even if you’re a fatty.” – Bartley


Brian Schwab

“They are all tight and supportive, yet still comfortable to use. The Sumo Pro Deadlifter allows me to stay upright while still giving plenty of support.” – Schwab


Brian Carroll

Julia Ladewski

“I’ll use any and all Metal. It fits me the best and it is good quality.” – Ladewski

Charles Bailey

Single ply

Multi ply

Matt Rhodes

The Ace Briefs give me great rebound and support, while the suit has great stopping power and rebound. This is especially true when I tighten the straps. The Ace shirt is very easy to use.  “It has great stopping power (reminds me of denim) and has great carryover throughout the whole lift.  It gives great pop off the chest, which I desperately need having long arms.” – Rhodes

“I don’t like super-strong wraps, so the Metal black knee wraps are great for me. I can get them very tight, without making it impossible to bend my knees.” – Rhodes

“The EFS Super Heavy wrist wraps are like wearing a cast on my wrist. Anyone who has trouble keeping their wrists from bending back under big weights needs these. If worn properly, they will do wonders for your bench, wrist health and longevity in benching.” – Rhodes
